It's always sad to hear when an elegant and useful application like Kippt has to be more-or-less abandoned. Still, congrats to Karri and Jori for joining Coinbase, where their style and keen eyes will certainly do some good.

As for Kippt, does anyone have a good alternative? In the event it does get shutdown, breaks, or some other event occurs?

Kippt is a great product and Brian is very fortunate to have you guys join his team. And your talents will be multiplied at a place like Coinbase.

Congrats and best of luck.

Change is always good, whenever it happens. Success or failure is a relative thing in this world anyway.

I am just a user, somewhat technically savvy. Back in the days when new services were coming up frequently, all free for anyone to use; I had a feeling that this service is not going to go anywhere. Here you are few years later.

The business of letting people save bookmarks, tag, share, are long gone, and so are the services with them.

What will become of sendtoinc.com?

They say in the post:

We'll continue to keep both Kippt and Inc running however the paid Kippt Pro plans will be discontinued. Inc will keep seeing small improvements, as a side project for us. We're committed to providing guidance and support to our user community during these transitions, so please feel free to contact us anytime.

Oh, no! I loved my Kippt account. Sad to see it go, but I totally understand, it's hard to keep a project going without growth in the userbase.
